[ Encourage and interact as a family]
The idea of encouraging the students should be highest priority of the parents. It's a new environment and they're not sure what's going on - it's important them to recognize that they have a loving family. It's also important to interact as a family in terms of learning English. Te entire family is going through a life-altering transition and it will be much easier for everyone to be able to relate to one another.
Try to speak more English at home or maybe have a night or two out of the week where the entire family will sit together to play games (in English!). This kind of interactions is just what you would expect from normal families - don't change up the dynamics of your family. It has been enough of a change moving to a new country and stability is an important issue.
Graduation ceremonies at UC Irvine have been cancelled as a precaution to the outbreak of novel coronavirus, officials announced this week.
“We are saddened to share that the UCI Commencement Ceremonies will not take place in the same way as previous years,” Willie L. Banks Jr., the vice chancellor for student affairs, said in a message to students Friday, March 13.
Ceremonies were scheduled for June 12-15 and the announcement comes after Gov. Gavin Newsom’s order banning gatherings of 250 or more people statewide.
It’s the first time the school, opened in 1965, has canceled commencement ceremonies, spokesman Tom Vasich said. UCI was also the first UC school to cancel its ceremonies.
